Troubleshooting - Hydrofarm Active AQUA GFO7CB Instrucciones

• Don't fill reservoir while the buckets are filling/draining. Add to the reservoir only after drain
cycle has finished (controller and buckets are empty).
• Use a 110-120V, 60 Hz power source with this system.
• Change nutrient solution in reservoir every seven to 10 days.
• Clean out pump filters and the vacuum break elbow fitting hole, as well as check float switches
for obstructions as needed.
• Many plants require 3–4 cycles per day for optimal growth. Excessive cycling will cause
premature pump failure.
• Regularly inspect all tubing for kinks and cracks.
• Move pump around while submerged to remove air bubbles at the impeller.
• The Grow Flow Controller Bucket System is equipped with an overflow safety float/emergency
switch on the inside of the top of the bucket. If one of the upper adjustable float switches were
to fail, this switch will act as the first failsafe upper float switch.
NOTE: This switch will only prevent flooding with buckets 12" or taller.
PROBLEM
The buckets are overflowing
The Error light is flashing
The bucket fittings are leaking

INSTRUCTIONS

TROUBLESHOOTING

Make sure all buckets, controller bucket, and
reservoir are on the same flat level surface.
Make sure the vacuum break is installed correctly.
You can tell it is working if water drips back into the
reservoir during the fill cycle.
Make sure the adjustable float valves are not
positioned too high.
Test the functionality of the adjustable float switches.
When both are raised manually, does the fill pump
stop? It should.
Make sure Overflow Switch is oriented properly
Make sure rubber washers are installed correctly, and
fittings are tightened down adequately. If the fitting
hole in the bottom of the outer bucket isn't smooth,
clean up with a deburring tool.
Check fill pump for proper operation. Check screens
inside buckets. Check for blockages, replace tubing if
necessary (HGTB50).
Move drain pump away from lower floats, make sure
it isn't preventing them from fully engaging.
